Actually, if you look at history, registration always leads to confiscation 
over the long term
And teh reason for it is very simple
Governments, over time, consistently add more and more regulations to laws, 
thus making them more and more restrictive.
    After a while it's just simpler to get rid of the items that have been 
"regulated" to death by simply making them illegal.

That's when confiscation begins
    Now they might call it something else, like a "buy-back".
But when you have NO CHOICE about selling the item in question, it is simple 
confiscation
